Control of a power transistor with a drive circuit
Abstract:
A system includes a first transistor having a first control input and first and second current terminals. The first current terminal couples to an input voltage node. A second transistor has a second control input and third and fourth current terminals. The third current terminal couples to the second current terminal at a first node. The fourth current terminal couples to an output voltage node. A drive circuit is configured to charge a capacitor maintain the first transistor in an off state responsive to a negative voltage on the input voltage node, and, responsive to a negative voltage on the input voltage node, to cause the charge from the capacitor to be used to turn off the first transistor. The system provides a voltage to a load coupled to the output voltage node.
